is $40 Million?
A Powerball jackpot of $40 million may not seem like much, but ask yourself this – is $40 million really a small amount of money? Is the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. a small building? If you were to stack $100 bills, take a look at the heights the money would reach at each estimated jackpot amount.

Players Insights
Odds are you don’t know this…
Did you know your odds of winning a prize are the same in every Powerball drawing?  You have a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning a prize when the advertised jackpot is $40 million. You still have a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning a prize when the advertised jackpot is $1 billion. Even if there are more tickets sold in a particular drawing, your odds of winning a prize are the same. 
Odds of winning
Dollars & Sense
Value of the Annuity
Jackpot winners can either select their prize as an annuity or a lump-sum payment. If the annuity option is selected, the winner is guaranteed to receive 30 graduated payments over 29 years. The annual payments increase by 5% until the 30th and final payment. The 30 payments added up equal the value of the annuity.
